How great Roman Reigns is at timing and spacing out his big, explosive moments is one of his biggest strengths between the ropes and something he doesn't get enough credit for. Sure, he doesn't have the most diverse moveset, but he employs bombs like the Superman Punch, Spear, and Drive-By at just the right moment almost every single time, elevating the drama to the next level.

One of his more memorable Superman Punches came when The Shield met Cody Rhodes, Goldust, and Big E Langston on this episode of Raw. Having already nailed one Disaster Kick in the bout, 'The Grandson of a Plumber' went for another.

Big mistake.

Reigns pivoted around, leapt, and caught Cody while he springboarded back, knocking him out of the air with tremendous force. Rhodes folded like an accordion on impact, delivering a selling job befitting the offense.
